I'm using Duck Duck Go for a browser as well as Ad Block, these damned ads just keep pushing, a big banner ad at the top of the page just under the header, several between replies a couple on the right side and a bottom banner ad. According to the ad block counter an attempted 375 ad placements on this page alone as it resets on each page.
We will see how today goes.

All stay safe and enjoy

Edited to add this I see that Weather Underground only had 9 ads blocked compared to almost 400 now here

Good Morning
30° and a high overcast. High of 45 and rain later today.

Yesterday was spent puttering around in the morning, took the little plane for a ride to Reading for lunch with a friend. Then later had to go to holiday market to help wife breakdown and load her wares into the transit connect.
I enlarged the holes in the strainer basket in the kitchen sink, they were not very big, about 5/64 or so and would clog up pretty easily.

Watched an interesting YouTube on powering an electric golf cart with a predator engine driving an automotive alternator. The clever part was using the alternator as the speed control by controlling the field voltage and connecting the output directly to the motor.

Not sure what I’m going to get into today. Might go look at Drew’s neighbor’s car to see if we would be interested in it.
A friend is supposed to stop by and return some tools that he borrowed to do a mini split install over the weekend. After that we should figure out what we need in a shed and where we want to put it.

Those using Duck-Duck-Go and still getting to many ADs may need to set some of options up. Go to upper right corner of browser. Click on 3 dots and start using the option available to you.
I only see the one at top of every page for Solis.

Good Morning to All who Celebrate! 41 with a high of 47. Rain is forecasted for the next three days, it has been threatening rain but I haven't seen any rain yet.

Logging Chain and Rachet Straps arrived, seem to be well made and good quality. Very excited to try them out, Mytee Products if anyone was interested in looking for themselves.

Work this week will involve a lot of travel, at least two different trips, before the holiday freeze happens. Here's hoping we can get this put to bed before the New Year.

Dad struck out this past weekend, but we had a 4 point walk across the backyard and enjoy some leftover apples before just moseying on along. It's like they know they can't be shot.

Mom is slowly recovering from her cold. She had an infected gland in her cheek that swelled. She took a regimen of antibiotics and is improving.

Only goals are to survive the week and figure out gifts for this year.

Deeply saddened to read about the illnesses and loss here. Y'all are in my prayers.

Please all, guard your health and stay safe out there! Enjoy the week!

Morning all, 36 going to 50 and rain showing up in a bit.
All the tall ornamental grasses cut down and cleaned up
More bushes trimmed out.
Still need to do Crape Myrtles and BlueGreen grass area.

Lights come down as they last longer, we have lights wrapped in some bushes that stay up year round.

Be well,
Even with the drought, the grasses went a bit crazy this year, had to prune the one by the pool twice.

And after a haircut, 9 down 2 to go

Doe snacking on our old pumpkin. We had 6 deer we could see yesterday. Hopefully none meet any cars.

Don, looks like you are all ready.
just order up a couple of light dustings of snow for better theater...

I also get a lot of Hale groves fruit ads, because I just ordered from them.
I have AdblockPlus and it was turned off. Turned it back on.
I refreshed the page and they disappeared.
a few seconds later, like a persistent tick, they were back

got everything done I needed to, wanted to put up some shelves in garden shed and realized I was out of
hanger hardware. Definitely an online thing, the nice hardware store downtown has it all bagged in nice coordinated packages
for about four times the cost. And I'm sure not walking all the way into Home Depot for that.
I'm just being ecological right? Amazon was coming anyway...plus I get 7 percent back from Amazon if I tell them no rush.
Stuff is starting to come in late, etas getting pushed back. Pretty normal.

was headed out later but decided to wait til tomorrow, have to go out anyway to see oncologist first thing in morning.
Hopefully all those blood lab tests are ok, even though some were slightly out of range. Nice I get to see labs online before
talking to him. Dozens of tests, all acronyms I don't understand, blood chemistry.

Good Morning!!!! 43F @ 7:15AM. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 69F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Sorry to hear about Ted's wife, Drew. Thanks for being the go between.

Took delivery of a new dishwasher on Saturday. Had them unbox it, but when they moved it up the driveway they had the dolly foot resting under the plastic pump housing. I told them about it and was told it won't hurt anything. Yeah, right. It didn't come with a cord, and the water hose from the old dryer didn't fit. Found an old computer cord in the junk box, and a strain relief clamp in the electrical parts box, but it took more than a few minutes to find the terminal box on the dryer. The instructions had a very close up drawing of the box, but no hints as to where to find it on the dryer. Quick run to HD for the hose had me asking directions to it, and clerk was already there helping someone else. Needed an extra fitting so followed him as he barged through groups of people just standing around, and again going to get the hose. Found a kit that had both the fitting and hose and was out of there in only five minutes. Caught up with an out of state friend via cell phone on the way there, planned that way 'cause gosh that guy can talk! Dishwasher is so quiet almost can't tell it's running. Thought all the racks were stainless steel, but looking closer they're actually heavily powder coated silver. Grrr.

Ordered a new cell phone to take advantage of much better camera and satellite cellular emergency calling. Safety first, but oh my gosh, such a cost. Will maybe get $300 back for the old phone. New case and car charging cables on order. Looking at cost basis for Apple stock took some of the sting out of the transaction, though.

Learned that legislation exempting insurance payments for disaster claims passed both houses of Congress, so have a nice chunk of my money being returned by Uncle Sam. Will have to file a few amended tax returns to get it, though.

Finished out the weekend with a buddy hiking up to some water tanks overlooking the valley. Found a steep, sandy single track that was deeply eroded in spots, and was surprised to find bicycle tracks on most of it. Even ran across a mountain bike racing clinic being conducted on a football field in the park at the base of the hills.

Hope everyone's week gets off to a nice start!
